No Gailnn AGENCIES.

Delta, Fulton county, voted in favor
of local option and the village council
passed prohibitory ordinance. The sa-
looms closed, except that one party
claimed TO be the agent of the manafac-
turers. and sold beer by the gallon. A
letter was addressed to the attorney
general of the state to get his views re-
specting such agencies, and he replied
as follows:
ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE.
COLUMBUS, o., JAN, 21, 1887.
DEAR SIR-Your favor of recent date
received. There has been no case In the
supreme court presenting the question
as to the right of aD agent to sell iutoxl-
eating LIQUORS. Manufacturers thereof.
who sell in quantities of not less than
one gallon at any one time, are express
Iv exempted from the operation of the
Dow law as to the payment of the tax,
and in the absence of a decision OF the
supreme court, give it as my opinion
that this means sales by manufacturers
in good faith. in the usual course of bus
iuess and not by a so-c6lled or nominal
agency. In other words. DO noI oe
lieye that an independent place OF Ousi-
ness can be set up at different places VI
the state under assumed agency. WIN
out liability for the special tax, or IN
defiance of an ordinance, where one mas
been adopted under the local option
feature. Believing this to be the intent
and meaning of the law, give you my
Judgment for what it is worth.
Yours very truly,
j, a. KoHLER, Atty Gen.

The following which is going the
rounds of the press is worth republisb>
ing: after you get angry and make
up your mind to stop your paper. to
make the editor feel humiliated, just
puke your finger in water and look for
;he hole. Then you know how sadly
YOU are missed. The man who thinks a
paper cannot survive without his sup
port ought to go off and stay awhile.
When he comes back he will find that
half of his friends didn't know he was
gone The other half didn't care cent,
and the world at large hadn't kept any
account of his movements whatever.
You will tind things you cannot indorse
10 any paper. Even the Bible is rather
plain and hits some hard licks. II you
wers to get mad and burn your Bible, TIE
hundreds of presses would still go on
printing them; and if you were to stop
your paper and call the editor all sorts
of ugly names, the paper would still be
published. And what is more, you'll
sneak around and borrow copy of it
every week from your neIghbor."

Many farmers place great stress on the
power of clover to restore the fertility of
the soil. 1t does this by taking carbon
from the atmosphere and causing ele.
ments in the soil to assume organic shape.
1t is aided in this process by its roots,
which penetrate 4 great distance, and
thus tighten up the soil. 1t is dis
puted question whether the plowing.in
of clover is the most satisfactory and
economical method of enrching he soil,
but the practice is quite common in many

The Strongest Man on Earth.

Virginia Footlight: There is q man on
the Darson river, below Dayton, named
Angela Cordela, who claims to be the
strongest man in the world He Is an
Italian, aged twenty-eight and stands
five feet ten inches, weighing 1913 pounds.
His strength was born with him, for he
had no athletic training. He differs from
other men chiefly in the osseous struct,
ure Although not of unusual size, his
spinal column is much beyond the ordi-
nary width, and his bones and joints are
made on similarly large and generous
scale. He has lifted a man of POO pounds
with the middle finger of his right hand.
The man stood with one foot on the floor,
his arms outstretched, his hands grasped
by two persons to balance his body. Cor.
della then stopped and placed the third
finger of his right hand under the mans
foot, and, with scarcely any perceptibIe
effort, raised him to the height of four
feet and deposited him on table near at
hand. Once two powerful men waylaid
Cordella, with intent to thrash him, but
he seized one in each hand and ham
mered them together Until life was nearly
knocked out of them.

for drunkenness and the usual fine i'm
posed by Mayor William Shelton. The
man told the mayor that he only had q
few dollars, and his family needed it very
badly. He wanted to know if he could
not submit to q whipping and be allowed
to keep his money. The mayor told MIR.
Gibson that his cost was $3.70, and he
would take that amount "out of his
hide"
How many will you striker" said Mr..
Gibson.
The mayor said ten. This was agreed
upon. but Gibson refused to strip. His
honor took a board, and, bending Glib
son over a chair, proceeded to take out
his costs. The city marshal then offered
to take out his costs the same way, but
Mr.. Gibson said no, and paid up and

An Irish Woman's Native Wit.

Atlanta Constitution: The Hon. John
&. Underwood, ex-lieutenant governor
of Kentucky, told q very amusing anec-
dode at the banquet given in his honor in
the city last week, and which convulsed
the guests with laughter at his expense.
In replying to the address of welcome
delivered by Mayor Cooper, Governor
Underwood said, among otner things
"The KIND and generous treatment
which has been bestowed upon me by
the citizens of Atlanta makes me feel
very proud and reminds me of an incl
dent which occurred some years ago. In
addition to being mayor of small town
in my section of Kentucky, / had
been elected delegate to the
Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows, which was
to meet in Indianapolis, Ind. OF course,

and took 4 seat in the car opposite an old
Irish washerwoman, whom ! had seen

emily the conductor came around for
tickets. He stopped and collected the
Irish woman's ticket, and, recognizing
me, he simply bowed and passed on. The
woman eyed me for quite a while, and
then leaned over and said: Mister, how
ees it yiz ride free, while have to pay?'
Somewhat taken back, hardly knew
what to say in reply. Finally answered:
Madam, am riding on my face The
woman jumped up, all excitement, and
said, loud enough so all the passengers
in the ear could hear; Face ees it, Be-
gorrah, yez won't travel fur, them"

Ladies should reflect we'll before using
any preparation that is applied to so
delicate surface as the skin. Any cos
metic will at first impart a bcautifying
effect and not apparently injure the skin,
but in a very short time little blotches
and discolorations appear on the face
which conclusvely show the poisonous
drugs in their composition. 1t can be
safely said that more than t,D0-thirdS of
the face powders contain these injurious
ingredients. Pozzoni's medicated COM

free from all deleterious matter, but its
